COM Bl N ED PAPER-WEIG HT, CALEN DAR, AN D M USICAL WATCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,916, dated May '7,1889.

Application filed September 8, 1888. Serial No. 284,862. (No model.)

To all when), it may 0072100772 Be it known that I, ELLA N. GAILLARD, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in a Combined Musical \Vatch, Paper-Veight, Calendar, andPen- Extractor, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a combined music-box and calendar having theform and exterior characteristics of a stem-windin g watch, together:with the dial, indices, and hands adapted for the purpose of a calendar,with contrivances for operating one of the hands and winding up themusic by the stem of the watch, and being adapted for the purposes of apaper-weight, and also provided with a penextractor for removingworn-out pens from the holders, all as hereinafter fully described,reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l isa horizontal section of my improved combined musical watch, paperweight,and calendar. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same. Fig. 3 is aface view of the device, and Fig. 4: is a detail showing the adaptationof the stem of the winder fora pen-extractor. Fig. 5 is a face viewshowing modifications.

In any approved case, a, more or less resembling a watch-case and havinga dial, Z1,

and usual watch-crystal, o, I arrange the ordinary works of a music-box,as the pin-barrel (Z, comb c, barrel-driving spring f, geartrainregulating-fly 7a, and its driving-train 2', together with thewinding-stem for wind ing up the spring, which spring is connected withthe driving-trai11 g by the usual ratchet, 7;, and pawl Z of such works,enabling the winding of the spring without turning the rest of the worksbackward, and with the dial Z), having the exterior circle of numbers,971, for the days of the month, also the intermediate circle of letters,a, indicating the names of the months, and the inner circle of lettersor names, 0, of the days of the week. Iarrange the pointer 1) for thecircle m, pointer q for circle a, and pointer s for inner circle, 0,fittin pointer p to the sleevet and gearing said sleeve with the stem jby the worm-gears a, shaft 1:, and the wheel u on said shaft, with whichthe stem-pinion 0c gears when the stem, which is made to shiftlengthwise in its bearing-hub y, is shifted to the innermost position,and with the other pointers, q and s, fitted to sleeve q and post .9,respectively. I arrange the ratehets a Z), pawl-levers c and d, and thepawls c and f, respectively, for shifting them by moving the outer endsof the pawl-levers, which are made to project slightly at the outer endsthrough slots in the case, allowing them the requisite amount of swingfor so shifting the pointers, the levers being worked one or more timesfor each shift of the pointers, according as the ratchets have to beshifted the range of one or more teeth for each movement of thepointers.

The pinion g, by which the spring of the music-works is wound up, is setin a plane wherein the stem-pinion m gears with it when disconnectedfrom the wheel 10 by shifting the stem to its outermost position, whicharrangement is contrived so that the stem may be utilized for turningeither the pointer or the winding-up mechanism without moving the other.The stem has a couple of grooves, 7a, in which a small spring, t", dropsto retain the stem in whichever position it maybe set.

I make a split or divided knob of the Winding-stem, with one of theparts jointed, as in Fig. 4, and fitted with an opening-spring, Z, ifdesired, to utilize the knob as a grip device, forminga convenient andeffective penextractor, whereby old ink-coated pens may be pulled out ofthe holders without soiling the fingers.

I may of course make good use of the calendar and paper-weight withouthaving the music-works included; but its use is preferable as anattractive feature, and it is serviceable,also, because of theadditional weight it affords for the purposes of a paper-weight; andinstead of arranging the indices in, 'n, and 0 0n the dial and employingthe pointers, it is plain that I may employ disks m, a, and 0 under thedial, carrying the indices and showing the figures through openings 1)in the dial, the disks being attached to the sleeves t q and posts 8,respectively, and being turned by the stem and ratchets same as whencarrying the pointers, the arrangement of apparatus being the sameexcept the substitution of the disks having the indices for the pointersand the indices on the dial, as represented in Fig. 5, and it Will bereadily understood from the foregoing that endless bands carryingindices and working on rollers to show the figures or characters throughopenings in the dial may be in like manner Worked With the stem andratchets.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The improved combined paper-weight and calendar, comprising, incombination, the stem-winder-Watch case, the dial, the calendar-indices,the index-indicators, Windingstem geared with one of theindex-indicators, and ratchet mechanism geared with one or more otherindex-indicators, substantially as described.

stem-knob pen-extractor, substantially as de- 0 scribed.
